ActiveYield eliminates time-consuming manual yield calibrations and replaces them with automated sensors that calibrate the machine by measuring the grain as the tank fills. This enables decisions to be made in real time without leaving the cab.

ActiveYield sensors in grain tank

When the ActiveYield option is enabled and the Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) in the StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver has been calibrated, ActiveYield is ready to go to work. As grain is harvested and enters the tank, the three sensors within the grain tank collectively measure the grain as it piles over the cross auger covers. If all conditions are acceptable (header and separator on, grain is flowing, and machine level is within 4 degrees) load collection occurs from 900 through 3000 kg (2000 through 6600 lb).

Any pitch and roll of more than 4 degrees from center during load collection will cause the system to reject that load due to the grain pile shifting in the tank. A new calibration load starts once grain is below the sensors on the cross auger covers.

Stored calibration loads are replaced by new ones as the system continues to collect data. The system may be disabled at any time by accessing the moisture setup page and unchecking the ActiveYield box if manual yield calibration is desired.

ActiveYield calibration location

ActiveYield Information

ActiveYield is available for model year 2016 through model year 2019 S760, S770, S780, and S790 Combines and requires the 4600 CommandCenter™ Display, GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display, or GreenStar 3 CommandCenter. Additionally, a StarFire 3000 or 6000 Receiver must be installed on the combine with the TCM calibrated for ActiveYield to detect machine pitch correctly. Manual yield calibration is not required as each crop has a built-in default value.

Harvest Doc™ system yield data collected by an ActiveYield system is only compatible with the John Deere Operations Center. John Deere does not guarantee compatibility of ActiveYield collected documentation with John Deere APEX™ software or third-party software systems.

Combine Advisor is a suite of technologies designed to maximize harvesting profits. The features help the operator set and optimize the S700 Combine and then automates the combine to maintain performance target as conditions change.

Auto Maintain

Auto Maintain with ActiveVision cameras is technology that works to automatically adjust five primary S700 Combine settings to maintain the user set performance target. When harvesting corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, or barley, the combine will maintain the performance of everything from grain loss and grain quality, to foreign material in the grain tank. The ActiveVision cameras, along with grain loss monitors, are specifically designed to identify the impact of crop condition changes and adjust the combine to maintain the performance target, allowing the operator to focus on other challenges of harvest.

Increase productivity by allowing ActiveVision cameras to identify and address tough-to-spot problems such as cracked grain

Provide flexibility in planning overall business and increase the efficiency of the combine independent of operator experience

Combine Advisor run page

Functionality

Auto Maintain looks at the level at which the combine is performing, sets that as the goal, and automates combine settings to continually hit the target performance goal over time. Auto Maintain uses existing sensor inputs along with the ActiveVision cameras to make decisions for accurate combine adjustments. It does not use grain moisture as an input, however. Auto Maintain is able to hit the target goal by automatically making adjustments to the threshing speed, concave clearance, chaffer clearance, sieve clearance, and fan speed. The ActiveVision cameras have been trained to analyze the clean grain and tailings material and input that analysis into the Auto Maintain system. Auto Maintain will show the operator how it has been performing with a constantly updating historical graph of losses, grain quality, and foreign material in the clean grain. The green-shaded area below indicates the performance targets set. The colored lines show the ongoing levels of losses and quality. For example, the green, purple, and orange lines below show a period of time outside of the green-shaded acceptable area. Auto Maintain recognizes this and makes the appropriate adjustments to meet the set targets.

Harvest is hectic as you focus on getting all the crop from the field to the bin within a tight harvest window. Using Machine Sync, you can focus more on grain harvest and grain quality and worry less about keeping the grain cart under the spout when unloading on the go. Gen 4 Machine Sync provides a solution to harvest stress by creating a wireless network between the tractor and combine to enable on-the-go unloading through synchronization of tractor speed and direction of travel with the combine.

In traditional grain cart operations, operators are focused on being in the right place at the right time. Previously, successfully unloading grain into a grain cart while continuing to harvest crop was complicated due to:

Communication between operators

Matching speeds between combine and grain cart

Awareness of upcoming waterways and field contour and agreement how to navigate

Awareness of equipment size and position

Gen 4 Machine Sync simplifies harvest for even the most experienced operators. It allows focus on harvest while reducing the tasks created by on-the-go unloading. This results in operators who are more relaxed, productive, and alert during harvest.

Machine Sync guides an approaching grain cart tractor to a predetermined “Home” position for unloading. This is a unique home point for that specific grain cart tractor/combine. Individual home points allow combines, tractors, and grain carts to have different configurations (duals, cart sizes, and unloading auger lengths).

Tractors in operational zone

Speed and direction synchronization can begin once the tractor and grain cart enter the area to the left of the combine. This area is known as the operational zone and is displayed in the image above as the orange box. Once the tractor operator engages Machine Sync, the tractor travels towards the home point and the two machines are actively tracking. The control of tractor speed and direction of travel is then given to the combine operator.

As the combine continues to harvest, the combine operator can engage the unloading auger, filling the grain cart. While synchronized, the grain cart tractor mimics the movements of the combine. The combine and tractor/grain cart continue to travel in a synchronized fashion until the tractor operator disengages Machine Sync. The tractor operator can do this by simply taking control of the steering wheel or manually changing speed.

While the combine and tractor/grain cart are tracking and unloading, the combine operator can make incremental speed and direction changes to the tractor in order to evenly fill the cart. Nudge buttons on the Gen 4 Display allow the tractor and grain cart to be nudged forward, backward, or side to side. To ensure the full capacity of the grain cart is being utilized, swing the unloading auger for final fill.

NOTE: Active Concave Isolation is only available on S780 and S790 Combines.

ACI increases throughput in tough threshing small grains and rice without sacrificing overall grain savings. This system allows producers to continue to harvest outside the optimal harvest window and conditions. The concaves are suspended by hydraulic cylinders that increase the amount of crop that is being threshed as well as reduces the amount of rotor noise that is heard by the operator.

Feature benefits:

In tough threshing, small grains producers can see up to a 10 percent increase in machine capacity while maintaining their loss level when the combine is equipped with a tough crop packages

Enhanced durability and uptime with the elimination of sheer bolts in the system

Increased operator comfort with the reduction of concave banging noise

ACI

Functionality:

The ACI feature hydraulically suspends the concaves; the consistency of the concave gap is increased along with decreasing sensor drift for a more accurate concave distance. Material flow through the threshing section of the machine is smoother, giving more consistent threshing.

The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe is the heart of the S700 Combine cleaning system. The system is made up of a unique design consisting of aluminum and high-strength steel that reduces overall weight while maintaining overall strength. The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe also features an enhanced drive system that requires only one flywheel for optimal shoe performance and maximizes uptime.

Feature benefit:

Increased size of the sieve area by 12 percent for up to an additional 0.6 ha (1.5 acres) per hour of productivity.

Tailings volume reduction of up to 28 percent in coarse grains and up to 14 percent in small grains.

Functionality:

The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning system begins with conveyor augers located beneath the concave area, where the volume of threshed material is highest, to evenly move material onto the cleaning shoe (1). The deep auger troughs provide uniform distribution of material to the cleaning shoe with less bunching, even on sloping terrain and when harvesting up and down hills.

Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe

Once grain is on the cleaning shoe, the raised-center front chaffer cleans up to 40 percent of free grain before it reaches the main chaffer (3). High-velocity air from the cleaning fan elevates any light material traveling over the end of the front chaffer, resulting in more aggressive separation of chaff and increased cleaning performance (2). The main chaffer provides grain separation from chaff as the grain passes through the main chaffer to the sieve (4).

The sieve provides proper sizing of grain from material other than grain (5). Any grain that passes through the sieve is elevated to the grain tank while some grain or material other than grain flows to the tailings return system for reprocessing. On S760, and S770 Combines, the tailings material is directed back into the threshing section of the separator for additional threshing. The tailings material on the S780 and S790 Combines are directed to the active tailings return system for additional threshing, and then directed back on the return pan and then onto the main chaffer for additional cleaning (6).

The industry-exclusive ProDrive system uses PowerShift™ transmission technology to automatically shift between two speed ranges as ground conditions and terrain change to keep the combine harvesting at the desired ground speed. Valuable harvest time will no longer be lost shifting on hills and when exiting fields to start transporting.

Feature benefit:

Precise control of the combine speed (when going up or down hills) without the need to continuously monitor and adjust the multifunction control lever

Retain high levels of productivity through the speed ranges with shift-on-the-go technology

Operator-selected maximum speed within each range, allowing for more precise control of the combine in delicate operations (for example, when hooking up headers)

The ProDrive system on S700 Combines includes an integrated HarvestSmart™ feedrate control system to provide the maximum productivity and reduce operator stress and fatigue.

Functionality:

The ProDrive hydrostatic motor has a higher displacement than the previous hydrostatic systems. Both the pump and motor are variable-displacement components that allow ProDrive to maintain high levels of torque to the ground throughout each of the two operating-speed ranges.

Range one can be set for typical harvesting speeds. Range two can be used when higher speeds are needed during harvest or when transporting the combine.

The ground speed can be infinitely varied within both modes by the operator, using the multifunction control lever on the CommandARM™ armrest console. The multifunction lever regulates the high-capacity, variable hydrostatic pump and motor that drives the ground speed.

Using the navigation tools on the armrest, the operator can dial in the desired maximum-attainable speed within each of the two speed ranges. The maximum forward speed in either range can be set from 0 to 38.6 km/h (0 to 24 mph). The maximum speed in range one cannot be set higher than the maximum speed for range two. For example, if a maximum harvest speed of 13 km/h (8 mph) is desired and set, the full forward position of the hydrostatic control handle will deliver the speed of 13 km/h (8 mph).

The ProDrive transmission is equipped with an electrohydraulic differential lock with a four-pinion differential. Non-ProDrive combines have a two-pinion differential. When operating in muddy, hilly terrain or in sandy conditions that may cause one of the tires to lose traction, this differential lock enables the operator to maintain productivity. If traction is lost, the operator can quickly and easily engage the differential lock by pressing the differential lock button on the CommandARM armrest console. An indicator light within the button alerts the operator that the differential locking feature is engaged.

The TriStream rotor is unique to John Deere because it features a slightly tapered design in the threshing area for best-in-class grain quality while dramatically reducing the growling that often comes with heavy rotor loads. The TriStream rotor is recommended for producers who harvest mainly coarse grains along with easy-threshing small grains.

The spiral vanes surrounding the rotor guide the crop material through the threshing and separating area in a pull-and-release action to improve performance. This John Deere S700 Combine feature will generate less power consumption.

Feature benefits:

TriStream rotor technology reduces the force required to move material through the combine by as much as 20 percent, maximizing fuel efficiency.

The rifling grooves on the threshing elements allow the bullet-shaped rotor to move material more efficiently, maximizing crop threshing performance and grain quality.

Heavy-duty vanes on the top covers propel the crop smoothly rearward through the length of the rotor, ensuring all the threshed grain is separated.

S700 TriStream rotor

Functionality:

Fifteen cast-constructed threshing elements provide superior material handling with excellent grain quality. The elements spiral around the rotor to control material flow. In some harvesting environments, the dense-pack configuration (nine additional threshing elements) may be necessary.

TriStream threshing elements

Conical top covers allow for smooth material movement within the threshing and separating area. The top covers have a radius larger than the rotor, allowing the material to expand as it travels along the top of the rotor. This design uses the pull-and-release action of crop material, aiding in the threshing and separating to reduce power consumption.

The industry-exclusive variable-stream rotor features a tapered design in the threshing section, which improves crop flow, enhances grain quality, and reduces power consumption. The variable-stream rotor with adjustable top cover transport vanes is recommended for producers of rice and in tough threshing conditions.

The variable-stream rotor smooths crop flow during tough handling conditions to maximize throughput. Along with the tough-material handling capabilities of the variable-stream rotor configuration, the straw quality and length can be improved due to the electrically adjustable top cover transport vanes.

Feature benefits:

The longer rotor taper in the threshing area allows improved material handling by providing smoother crop flow through the combine, maximizing threshing performance and fuel efficiency.

Increases combine productivity by not having to slow down on side hill slopes

Functionality:

The side hill kit installed in the cleaning shoe of S700 Combines allows grain to be evenly distributed across the entire width of the shoe when harvesting in slopes. As grain moves to the rear of the combine, the dividers keep grain contained into four individual bays which prevents overloading one side of the cleaning shoe. Additionally, the rubber agitator paddles in each individual bay work with the oscillating motion of the cleaning shoe to move grain toward the center of each bay for increased utilization of the entire cleaning shoe width for increased performance and productivity.

Support bracket and latch enables quick installation and removal of the threshing insert as needed with no tools required

Round-bar/multi-crop concaves with inserts

Concave insert for round-bar concaves

Functionality:

The concave insert assembly consists of an over-center latching mechanism, left-hand support bracket, and the threshing insert. The over-center latch and support bracket bolt to the round-bar concave and remain in place, enabling quick installation and removal of the threshing insert as needed - no tools required. These concave inserts are recommended for use with the round-bar/multi-crop concave in small-grain crops. The attachment includes a set of two inserts for use in the front concave section only.

Additional threshing tine base weldments for installation into the DensePack locations of a variable-stream rotor can only be used to improve material handling in some tougher conditions such as rice and grass seed harvest. This may decrease machine performance if used in dry, brittle-crop conditions.

Feature benefit:

Rice machines ordered from the factory already come with these tines installed for increased productivity and capacity

Increase in machine performance in tough-threshing and damp crops

Variable-stream rotor equipped with DensePack

Grain wear plates

Rice wear plates

Wear plate kits (grain versus rice) must be ordered separately through Service Parts.

Rotor discharge flights are available for STS combines when operating in specialty crops. The discharge flights are recommended for use in crops such as sunflowers and edible beans when operating in conditions that require rotor threshing speeds below 300 rpm.

The discharge flights are designed to provide an aggressive push to the slow-moving crop material as it moves from the rotor housing into the discharge beater. The additional kick provided by the paddle design of the flighting significantly improves material flow and reduces possible plugging at the rear of the rotor at extremely low threshing speeds.

When operating in other crops where rotor speeds higher than 300 rpm are required (for example, soybeans, wheat, rice, etc.), it is recommended the discharge flights BE REMOVED to ensure adequate and even material flow through the rotor, as well as to provide better residue spread.

IMPORTANT: Discharge flight paddles are NOT recommended for use in heavy, damp wheat or rice crops.

The discharge flight is for use on any 9650 STS, 9750 STS, 9660 STS, 9760 STS, 9860 STS, 9670 STS, 9770 STS, and 9870 STS Combines and does not require the combine to be fitted with any particular configuration of rotor discharge housings.

NOTE: Two rotor discharge flight paddles for 9560 STS, 9570 STS, and S550 STS Combines, AH219961 and AH219962, can be ordered through Service Parts.

Extended Wear Round Bar Concaves (Set of 3) - BXE10387

Fast (Feed Accelerator And Stone Trap)

The serrated feed accelerator wings have a smooth contoured back to provide fast yet gentle crop handling while also featuring serrated edges for positive crop movement in viney crops such as edible beans.

The updated feed accelerator wings are recommended in place of the optional smooth accelerator wear strips attachment because they help to provide excellent grain quality without compromising feeding performance in edible beans.

NOTE: The standard straight serrated wear strips are still the recommended choice to use on the feed accelerator when harvesting in damp or green-stemmed-type crops.

The stone trap protects the combine's interior area by effectively catching stones deflected by the feed accelerator into the stone dump area before they enter the TriStream™ feed section.

Remote lever with an over-center latch makes cleanout fast and easy.

Trap requires no adjustment and provides worry-free harvesting when cutting close to the ground.

Adds no additional length to the feederhouse. Excellent line-of-sight visibility of the platform cutterbar is maintained.

No compromise in feeding material smoothly from the platform to the feederhouse conveyor chain.

No increase in front axle tire loading since feederhouse length is not extended.

Base Equipment On: S-Series Combines

Field-installation information

An expanded stone trap door with a two-piece front feed floor is available as a field-installed bundle. This bundle replaces the standard one-piece feed floor.

When harvesting crops such as corn, food corn, popcorn, and small grains, the front-piece floor section remains bolted in place. This allows 9 in. of opening across the width of the machine.

In rocky conditions such as beans and edible beans, the front floor section is removed to provide 11.5 in. of open area to the larger stone trap, allowing improved rock protection (22 percent increase in stone trap area).

These lower speeds allow the feed accelerator to provide more gentle grain handling in delicate specialty crops such as edible beans, food corn, or popcorn.

Having the slow-speed feed accelerator drive available as a factory-installed option allows those who plan on using this drive for harvesting all their crops to save the cost of discarding the standard feed accelerator drive parts in the field.

ActiveYield eliminates time-consuming manual yield calibrations and replaces them with automated sensors that calibrate the machine by measuring the grain as the tank fills. This enables decisions to be made in real time without leaving the cab.

ActiveYield sensors in grain tank

When the ActiveYield option is enabled and the Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) in the StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver has been calibrated, ActiveYield is ready to go to work. As grain is harvested and enters the tank, the three sensors within the grain tank collectively measure the grain as it piles over the cross auger covers. If all conditions are acceptable (header and separator on, grain is flowing, and machine level is within 4 degrees) load collection occurs from 900 through 3000 kg (2000 through 6600 lb).

Any pitch and roll of more than 4 degrees from center during load collection will cause the system to reject that load due to the grain pile shifting in the tank. A new calibration load starts once grain is below the sensors on the cross auger covers.

Stored calibration loads are replaced by new ones as the system continues to collect data. The system may be disabled at any time by accessing the moisture setup page and unchecking the ActiveYield box if manual yield calibration is desired.

Additionally, a StarFire 3000 or 6000 Receiver must be installed on the combine with the TCM calibrated for ActiveYield to detect machine pitch correctly. Manual yield calibration is not required as each crop has a built-in default value.

Harvest Doc™ system yield data collected by an ActiveYield system is only compatible with the John Deere Operations Center. John Deere does not guarantee compatibility of ActiveYield collected documentation with John Deere APEX™ software or third-party software systems.

Machine Optimization Technology

Active Terrain Adjustment is a system that enhances grain quality and reduces grain loss when harvesting on ascending or descending hills. The feature automatically adjusts the combine’s sieve and chaffer openings and carefully controls the cleaning fan speed, stabilizing tailings levels and ensuring a clean grain tank sample.

Feature benefit:

Achieves same loss level as on level land conditions (on hills up to 10 degrees)

Tailings reductions by up to 35 percent on 8-12-degree inclines

Automatic settings adjustments on hills

Active Terrain Adjustment slope

Functionality:

Order Active Terrain Adjustment as a factory-installed option or as an attachment for field installation on model year 2016 machines and newer (PIN 785000 -). The feature can be used in both coarse and small grains in all terrain, but will excel especially on hills.

Active Terrain Adjustment pitch sensor

Active Terrain Adjustment cleaning fan actuator

When the machine starts an uphill climb, Active Terrain Adjustment will slow the cleaning fan down and open the chaffer and sieve elements. As the machine descends a hill, the cleaning fan speed will increase and the chaffer and sieve elements will close to decrease grain loss and prevent shoe loading.

ActiveYield eliminates time-consuming manual yield calibrations and replaces them with automated sensors that calibrate the machine by measuring the grain as the tank fills. This enables decisions to be made in real time without leaving the cab.

ActiveYield sensors in grain tank

When the ActiveYield option is enabled and the Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) in the StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver has been calibrated, ActiveYield is ready to go to work. As grain is harvested and enters the tank, the three sensors within the grain tank collectively measure the grain as it piles over the cross auger covers. If all conditions are acceptable (header and separator on, grain is flowing, and machine level is within 4 degrees) load collection occurs from 900 through 3000 kg (2000 through 6600 lb).

Any pitch and roll of more than 4 degrees from center during load collection will cause the system to reject that load due to the grain pile shifting in the tank. A new calibration load starts once grain is below the sensors on the cross auger covers.

Stored calibration loads are replaced by new ones as the system continues to collect data. The system may be disabled at any time by accessing the moisture setup page and unchecking the ActiveYield box if manual yield calibration is desired.

John Deere’s single-point header latching system provides combine operators a fast and easy method for connecting all front-end equipment. One easy motion of the lever connects the electrical and hydraulic circuits along with header retaining pins.

No wrenches are required to complete the header-combine connection

Reduces the time required to change over headers, so there is more time available for harvesting

More convenient to remove headers for transport or storage

The enhanced single-point latching system, starting in model year 2016, will include a valve assembly mounted to all platform and corn head back sheets. These assemblies will include an orifice valve unique to the header type as well as a pressure override valve. Together, these ensure optimum performance and reliability of header hydraulic functions.

Compatibility for prior headers or combines to model year 2016 equipment is provided by attachments specific to the header and combine being used. Refer to the chart below for compatibility information.

Six different attachments cover the compatibility between new and used combines and front-end equipment. The attachments are BXE10667, BXE10666, BXE10668, BXE10670, BXE10697, and BXE10669.
